Pavillon Le Corbusier
The last building designed by modernist master Le Corbusier during his lifetime, made of colored steel panels and glass. It's a pilgrimage site for architecture lovers.
This pavilion was completed in 1967. Collector Heidi Weber commissioned it, and Le Corbusier designed it personally. It is also his only building made mainly of steel and glass. An umbrella-shaped steel roof stands independently above a cube of colored enamel panels. It's now operated by the Zurich Museum of Design and displays Le Corbusier's paintings, furniture, and architectural models. It sits by the lake at Zürichhorn, right next to the Chinagarten. The pavilion opens seasonally, is closed on Mondays, and requires a ticket.
